Aziz Akhennouch, a technocrat in his 50s who headed the ministry of agriculture and fisheries in the two previous governments, was appointed to the key cabinet post, the official MAP news agency reported. He replaces Nizar Baraka, whose Istiqlal party withdrew from the ruling coalition in July after strongly criticising the Islamist Party of Justice and Development (PJD) for failing to shore up the economy and solve pressing social problems. Morocco’s government has been hamstrung since May when Istiqlal first announced its intention to withdraw from the PJD-led coalition, which won the largest share of votes in parliamentary elections two years ago. Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane has been negotiating in recent weeks with the National Rally of Independents party, to which Akhennouch formerly belonged, to form a new cabinet and avoid early elections.

When I go grocery shopping, I do a good job of sticking to my list when I shop by myself, but when my children are with me, its a lot harder. Its not because they ask for things or put stuff in the cart, but because my focus is diverted. I end up making less-than-perfect shopping choices andI know that I am. I often forget about leftovers in the fridge. Its not that I dont want to eat them, but that when its lunchtime and I go downstairs to find lunch, I might not see them or they simply slip my mind.

The others included Don Mervyn Jayasinghe with 501 shares, Sunil Jayatissa 501 shares and Lalith Kotelawala, Secille Kotelawala, Sunil Rajapaksha and Malini Sabaratnam each holding 500 shares. Amongst the non-voting shares a total of twenty Ceylinco group companies made their presence noted with TFC itself owning 10,335,000 shares and the Golden Key Company 23,000 shares. Quite like most of the so-called Ceylinco Group, this company was no different: all the companies were composed of ownership from within the Group by and large. The domino effect that was waiting to happen did exactly that when the Ceylinco crisis hit the deck in December 2008.
